Using a Webhook

This topic describes how to use a webhook after it has been created. It provides step-by-step instructions for configuration and usage.

Once the webhook is created, complete the following steps.
  1. Enable the automation.
  2. Copy the webhook URL from the webhook card.
    Note:
    The webhook URL is sensitive. Do not share or expose it. Anyone with access to the URL can trigger the webhook.
  3. Use the URL as the POST request endpoint in the third-party system.
  4. Configure these in the third-party system.
    1. Authentication (if defined)

    2. Webhook payload

  5. Test the webhook by sending a sample payload from the third-party system to confirm the automation triggers correctly.
